FLOWERS by MONTH
DIY FLOWER BUCKETS & FLOWER BAR
For the DIY bride, our farm will bring the garden to you - make your own table arrangements and bouquets for your wedding day. Flower bars are popular options at wedding or events as guest gifts - providing an unforgettable experience.
We sell seasonal and sustainably grown flowers and botanicals in two gallon floral buckets. Each bucket contains a mix of flowers, foliage, and textural accents that should give you everything you need to make beautiful arrangements. We don't count the stems but we fill the buckets as much as we can without damaging them. There should be enough plant material to make 5-8 small bunches (10 stems per bunch) or for a fuller effect 3-5 large bunches (20-30 stems per bunch) that can fill wide mouth quart mason jar arrangements depending on your style.
For DIY bouquet or flower bars, count on 5-8 small bunches (10 stems per bunch) per bucket for each of your guests to take home. If you want a larger quantity of any particular flower, they are available at an average per stem cost of around $2-$3/stem. The price per stem may vary a little either way depending on the variety and availability (see Add-on Ingredients).

RESERVING YOUR EVENT
The best way to contact us about your event is by first filling out this form so that we may know the date and details of your event. Once we have received your request, we will check our calendar and determine if we are available. After there has been an exchange of information, a custom invoice will be sent. A non-refundable deposit of 50% is required for all orders over $300 to reserve your event on our calendar. Or if less than $300 then full payment is required. The remaining amount is due on delivery. We begin booking wedding reservations a year in advance. We can accommodate last minute reservations depending on flower availability. Please give us 24-48 hours to respond to your request. Sometimes your email gets lost and you may need to email us again or give us a call.
Dates book up quickly for wedding events, so we recommend ordering at least 3-4 months in advance of your event (or sooner if you have custom requests).
For all other events, you can reserve for an event a few days to a few weeks in advance. Please contact us and we will be in touch about next steps.
PLEASE NOTE...
We do not guarantee specific flower or greenery varieties in our buckets. We accept requests for specific types of flowers but we cannot guarantee that they will be available due to variations in the weather. We do our best to accommodate specific color themes and favorite flower requests but sometimes substitutions may be necessary. We work hard to accommodate color or design requests but we rely on harvesting the freshest and most beautiful blooms from our fields at the time of your event - you will receive the cream of the crop of what nature has to offer! We almost always use only what we grow but sometimes, will use other local growers if we need specific items for your design vision.
For larger quantities of one type of flower, email us at info@sevenstarsflowers.com with your request for an estimate. Note this requires at least 6 months time notice.
RESOURCES
We recommend the book Fresh from the Field Wedding Flowers by Lynn Byczynski and Erin Benzakein for all your DIY Bride needs. While the printed version is no longer published, there's a great e-book available at $10 cost. (We don’t receive anything from the authors or publisher; we just love this book)
CONDITIONING, REFRIGERATION, & STORAGE
We harvest and condition our flowers so that they are fresh when we deliver them. We put them in two gallon floral buckets with plenty of water to drink. For DIY flower arrangements, we will provide 4 tbsp/40 grams of flower food to mix into 1 gallon of water. If you need more than that, we would suggest you buy floral food for your containers (Floralife Crystal Clear on Amazon). We will provide tips to keep your flowers happy, but are not responsible for its freshness after drop off, that’s up to you!
While you don't have to keep your flowers in the fridge, we suggest transporting them in an air conditioned vehicle, never in the back of a pickup truck. At home, store flowers in a fridge if possible, or in a cool air conditioned room out of direct sunlight and away from fruits/vegetables. Ethylene gas given off by fruits/vegetables reduces the quality and life of flowers.

Can I do DIY buckets of flowers and have you handle the bouquets/boutannieres?
Absolutely! We offer À La Carte services so you can easily pick and choose how you want to pull off your event.
Can I order only À La Carte boutonnières and wristlets/cuffs/corsages for my prom or special event?
Yes.
How many flowers do I need?
If we know the size and number of your containers and arrangements we can help you calculate the number of stems needed. You can experiment with similar size containers that you plan to use for the event. Then you can count the number of focal flowers, the secondary flowers and the amount of greenery and textural items that you used. Quart jars need about 20 to 30 stems to look full and smaller jars need about 10 or 12 stems. Larger vases need more. For DIY bouquet bars at a wedding, guests typically want about 10 stems for a nice posy bunch that they can wrap up and take home. Most bridal bouquets use 40 to 50 stems (most of a bucket), boutonnieres and corsages use 3 to 5 stems and sometimes more. Often suggested as a general rule is to order 20 percent extra than the amount you think you need. That way if things get damaged in transit or during arranging, you have enough to work with. Always better to have a little more than not enough.
Is DIY right for me?
Use this checklist to make sure you have everything you need for a great DIY experience.
Time.
Do you have the time to create your own event arrangements particularly for a wedding? Make sure you have a friend or family member who is willing and able to help with arranging and set up. Plan on picking your flowers up 1-2 days before your event and make sure to give yourself and your friends plenty of time to work with them, especially if you are new to flower arranging.
Materials.
Do you have all of the tools and materials you need? All of these items can be found at your local craft store, but it's a good idea to get them ahead of time. Here are some of the tools and supplies you’ll need for arranging:
-Sharp clippers (a pair for everyone helping you)
-Clean vases (it's important that they are super clean because bacteria and dirt will clog flower stems and prevent them from taking up water)
-Floral food to mix with clean water in your vases to keep your flowers looking fantastic
-Any mechanics you’ll need for large or low containers (i.e. marbles, clear tape, chicken wire, pin frogs, floral foam)
-Floral tape, ribbon, and twine for DIY bouquets, and floral wire for DIY boutonnières, corsages, and floral crowns
-Trash and/or compost bins for your flower clippings
Enthusiasm & Creativity.
Are you excited to create your own flowers, or do you have a friend or family member who is? What is your skill and confidence level working with flowers? We recommend watching a few basic tutorials on YouTube and/or making a mock up. Remember, if you are excited about doing most of your flowers but there are a few elements that make you nervous, like your bouquet or boutonnieres, feel free to inquire about ordering those items À La Carte. Consider picking up stems from your local floral department or ordering a “Practice Bucket” from the farm first to get some experience.

When should I get my flowers?
Reservations can be made up to a year in advance and we can accommodate last minute reservations depending on flower availability.
For the DIY bride, the best way to keep your stress level low is to carve out half a day the day before the event to do your own arrangements. We suggest picking up your flowers two days before your event (or at least early in the morning one day before your event).
For all other events, you can reserve for an event a few days to a few weeks in advance. Please contact us and we will be in touch about next steps.

We spend most of our time in the field growing flowers, and we have limited time to correspond. The best way to contact us is filling out this form and then we will get back to you within 24-48 hours about your request.
